Chapter 249: Chapter 249 Can I Be Even More Shameless (3) Chapter 249: Chapter 249 Can I Be Even More Shameless (3) He finally let her go, reached for the clothes at the bedside, draped them over his body, and started buttoning up while speaking, his voice once again becoming cool and detached, “If you want to continue working, what happened today must not happen a second time. Or else, just try me!”
The harshness of his last sentence made Lu Wanwan feel somewhat wronged.
She turned her body sideways and looked at his suddenly merciless profile, “I didn’t know those two journalists were following me, and I certainly didn’t expect Ji Jiayi to show up. Such things are unpredictable.”
“Is that what I’m talking about?” he suddenly turned his head, his cold gaze piercing her.
“What are you talking about then?”
Gu Annan abruptly leaned in, pinching her chin lightly with two fingers, grinding his teeth, “Do I need to dig out the photos again for you to see with your own eyes before you understand what I’m talking about?”
Lu Wanwan was confused for a moment, the photos…
“You mean, me and Bai Lingyun…”
She watched as Gu Annan’s gaze darkened drastically, as if he were a different person from the one who had just been passionately demanding moments ago.
That look could kill her a hundred times over, just one glance was enough to make her shiver, as if she had committed his forbidden act.
Lu Wanwan grabbed hold of his shirt that he hadn’t fully buttoned yet, “When I left, a car drove in, I didn’t notice, and I almost got hit. I also don’t know why they didn’t publish a single photo with the car, only choosing one from an angle that just happened to exclude the car.”
Seeing his expression not soften much, her bright, careful eyes blinked gently, and she continued softly, “There was supposed to be an exclusive news for us, he mentioned it to me face-to-face, everyone in our team knows. He was worried about me getting into trouble, and him being thrust into the spotlight.”
Gu Annan lowered his gaze, glancing at the hand grasping his shirt.
“That’s it.” she assured, “I just dodged a car, and then Ji Jiayi appeared, saying some nonsensical things.”
After being subjected to that icy stare for a long while, she managed to squeeze out a slight smile.
“Everything I said is true, do you want me to swear?”
However, it seemed that Gu Annan had never really trusted her oaths.
“Do you really… mind this incident?” She stared unblinkingly at him, unconsciously gripping the sleeve of his shirt by his elbow, unaware she was doing so.
“What do you think?” Gu Annan moved his lips, his tone remained cold, just not as intensely angry as before, “Photos of you hugging and embracing another man have caused an uproar throughout the city, do you think this matter is trivial? Have you forgotten who you are again?”
She felt somewhat disappointed; not even a little bit of concern was because of himself, and not just the Gu Family?
Lu Wanwan said softly, “Last time when someone took a photo of me supposedly entering a hotel room with him, you didn’t react much either, so I thought you wouldn’t be too upset over this kind of nonsense scandal.”
He raised his eyebrow slightly, “Is it the same as last time? That night it was obvious ‘you slept with me’, I certainly knew the scandal was false.”
She only heard that ‘you slept with me’, thus overlooking the shift in his reasons for concern.
“That’s what you said.” Gu Annan narrowed his dark eyes, his magnetic, low voice resonating by her ear, “Lu Wanwan, with your way of distorting truths, is it because you didn’t get to initiate, and you feel unsatisfied?”
Her face turned scarlet, she was grinding her teeth in frustration, yet she couldn’t speak a word.
The chat record was still in her WeChat!
Gu Annan’s direct gaze watched her little paw unconsciously grabbing his shirt, “If you want to take it off, take it off. What are you hesitating about by holding on to it?”
